About Me

I am married and have 2 adult daughters with 4 grandsons. We live in the country about an hour north of Sacramento CA. I use to love to shop in big towns like Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles. I started shopping online when my dad and brother died in October and I didn't shop for gifts those few years, i had to purchase onine and pay extra shipping to have Christmas. It was so much more convenient that i just started doing it for everything. so much easier and unique.

How I Can Help

I found out that if I am interested in something. Google it and I can usually fine either the best price, free shipping and easy returns. Sometimes its bether to pay a ltitle more to have better service.

Interests

I love to travel, history and being with my family.

  • Hudson Jeans

2/10/19

I found Hudson jeans in a popular magazine where I saw an actress wearing them. The fit was so nice I googled them and ordered immediately.
It took different styles to get what fit me but it was worth the search. I am older than some of their clients but still like to look the best that I can. They also come in longer inseam which is hard to find.
They are fairly expensive but quality over quantity wins for me.

I have been updating our home and started looking at pier1 for some of my changes.
I shop online and free shipping to my local store. If I do not like the item, they will refund in store with out a problem.
The quality and customer service has been great.

Now I lay me down to sleep. An organization that helped my daughter in January 2017 when she list her son, Ryan. He was going to be born in March.
On this terrible morning as she dropped my grandson off at school she called me and said she had been having severe cramps and was going to take bath and go to dr. As she started her water, she started a large amount of bleeding. She text me again and was driving herself to hospital.
This was the start of events leading to this organization. She made it to ER, and no heartbeat. As she text me and Ryan's dad I was at a lost. Praying for a different outcome but wasn't what we received. Sadly she had lost Ryan and had to have emergency surgery. She was on the east coast, I was in CA. She was alone at the worst time in her life.
The hospital contacted the organization and a professional photographer immediately came to take pictures of Ryan, she was given a beautiful box with his gown, homemade bracelets, crotche booties, cap and copies of his foot, and handprints. A small brown bear. There were other items but can't remember.
She was sent home with this tiny box and a few pictures she took on her cell.
I did fly to be with them, they had me a new q bed, pillow and electric blanket. I stayed in Ryans nursery. I can't believe how she got thru the days. The next morn she had Dr app and we returned some of his baby shower gifts. My mother lost a infant son, my sister a daughter and grandson, my 2 brothers a son and granddaughters.
Now I lay me down to sleep was a great organization, they are based in Colorado and do not donate out of state at this time so I'm not sure how my daughter received this box but I can not express how much this meant to my daughter and her family.
You can donate financially or make items to put in the boxes. I have contacted our local hospital about getting boxes for others.
In Dec I donated a box and 1 extra bear in his memory. The boxes are $50.00 bears 10.00. My daughter received a card in Ryans memory and I have received 2.
This is a very special organization that I wish did not have to needed.
I am sorry this is so long.

Good Morning America viewers GMADeals.Com
I recently was watching GMA Tory Johnson came on show with some deals for the day. Prices seemed to good to really be but I went to the site and ordered some of the items. I did not order any of the cheaper jewelry items but for younger ladies they were nice.
I have been waiting until I received my purchases before I did a review, so here is my take on the deals.
Each week they launch 5 women owned companies that are giving 50% off and sometimes more. I have started using some of the products and so far everything that I ordered has been great. I did order some battery operated lights and 1 globe was broke on delivery. I tried to contact the company by email, phone and live chat. Each one was closed due to Eastern time. So I contacted Tory Johnson i received email immediately, they were shipping a new globe I also contacted her about sizes clothes and again immediately responded. I also saw a message from a lady that tried to order a baby wrap blanket that was sold out, again she immediately told them to email her privately. I am sure she had extra to get her the blanket.
I am very impressed with the customer service from Tory Johnson. Her site is Sisterhood of Secret Savers.

They do have a limit on the deals so shopping early has helped me before they sell out.

  • Biaggi Luggage

I ordered my shopping bags on the textdeals.Com. I had not heard of the company before but since you have to have a bag when you shop I took the half off deal and I am glad I did. They had travel bags that fold flat and fit under plane seat as well as back packs. I bought the 2 shopper bags that fold up and zip into a small envelope size. They fit in purse,, very light weight and a material that doesn't tear easily and you unzip when you need it. I bought olive green with logo but they had a few colors to choose from.
I recommend bags

Tory Johnson has launched a site called thetextdeals.com. You have to text DEALS TO ******* to get the text alerts for the deals.
A few times a month she launches deals that are for her group that has joined.
I did have a problem along with others with the text to join, Tory put a message on the site to let her know and she would work with company to get it solved.
The deals are very good and from top brands you probably already know. They are for a limited time and limited amount of the items. Example only 4 for ea buyer.
One other issue I found, ea site you have to enter, order and pay separately which makes you ordering from possible 4 different sites and while you are purchasing from one another might be limited on color or sizes. I look at each item site and buy what I am interested in first. Honestly I had 1 item I wanted sold out in color and another was size.
I recommend the site and the deals

  • Serious Skincare

3/15/18

I have been using serious skincare for about 12 years and I have been very happy with the correctchin. Line.
It's inexpensive compared to other lines. They don't put a lot of expense in the packaging, you usually get a bag with the sets and most cost about $59.00. I saw a great improvement in my neck and under chin area. I am 60 and slot of people say I look about 45 to 50 years old. Recommend it

  • Leigh Valentine Beauty

I started using these products about 20 years ago when you had to join a 90 day automatic club. Lived the products but I dropped out because I couldn't use the products in 90 days. I couldn't find again as I got older and I had 1 set left but was using some other products. Wasn't happy with results so I started using the cream that I was suppose to use after the facelift kit. Within a month of using ea mirning and night the skin damage from tanning bed has completely gone and about half of the wrinkles also have gone. I looked online and found the site and you can buy separately or more on the products you use more of.
The cream says it's the same but looks more creamy that older jar. I have bought 2 kits and am very happy to find this product again. I am now 60 years old and have had people say I look 45. Can't say how happy that I am. Highly recommend

  • BAGGU

3/15/18

I joined a site that helps promote all women owned companise and this is one I bought from. Due to the stores not having plastic bags I decided to buy a few and keep on hand for shoppjng. I usually left in car and forgot to take with me but the bags I bought from this site are shopper bags and fold into a small zipper square. They fit in my purse and unzip into a shopper bag. Nice colors and designs. They were half off the day I bought do that helped me decide. They have a small, medium and even carryon luggsge. Very happy with the 2 I bought and was delivered in 3 days. Recommend

  • CORKCICLE.

3/15/18

My daughter started using stainless steel and other bottles instead of the plastic or aluminum. I decided to give it a try and ordered from this company.
They are expensive so I bought on half off sale. I bought 2 can holders, you unscrew bottom and freeze it, screw it back on and no swest and keeps cold for 3 hours. I also bought to large canteen types for summer.
Fast delivery and packaged really well

  • Gilt

3/25/16

I started shopping from gilt in 2014. I found a lot of things I loved and ever had a problem with anything I ordered.
I bought everything from professional blow dryers to great clothes. I do spend more Money when I shop on line and find myself doing impulse buying so I try to love what I do purchase.

I found this site and wasn't sure if quality was the same but I checked and found that is thru zapoos which I love that site. Do I ordered A couple of items to check the quality.
They have free shipping just like zappoos and returns which I have not used.
They have great brands like Hudson, 7 for all Mankind etc. The sizes are the same so I do not see any difference except sales are about half off. That's is a great savings for $200.00 plus jeans etc
I did get 1 pair of Hudson jeans with different color buttons. They areally black and my others just like them are not. Not sure but am looking at site to check.
I am happy with the site and recommend it.

*******
I started shopping on this site in 2014 and really liked what I bought. I purchased different items from clothes to hair products. The quality is great and prices are reasonable.
I do find I spend more money on sites Than going to the malls etc. But since I do not shop in larger cities any longer I still find the quality.

  • 7ForAllMankind

2/4/16

I found 7 for all mankind on ruelala and was reluctant to purchase. They were fairly expensive and wasn't sure of sizes, I finally ordered a pair and was glad I did. They are extremely great fitting and look great on. I have purchased about 10 more pair from this site and have not had a problem. They ship fed express in 2 days for free. I have not returned any jeans but would be surprised if there was any issues.
I am 5'7" 135 lbs. I buy 30in and love the 34 and 35 inseams. I did get crop and love them also.
I did get 2 of their tops and did not fit as well but I will give to my daughter
Large in top seems big on me.
Recommend the site and jeans

I just recently started ordering 7 for all mankind jeans and I am glad I finally did. I have been buying Hudson and other brands but these are my new favorite. The fit if great and sift to wear. They have a little stretch to them but doesn't sag. They also have different designs to give variety. I have a hard time finding longer pants and they have them. They ship in couple of days and had no problem with the shipping or service. Recommend

I bought some expensive bedding and pillows and forgot my coupon. They said no problem just bring it back with receipt. I took back few days later and got back $60.00. Very nice and helpful. Recommend

  • Maurices

12/7/15

I purchased a short sleeve sweatshirt tunic with rolled button on sleeve. The fit was great, the quality was very good and comfortable. I received it in just couple days.
I loved it so I went online again and bought it in another color. We now have a Maurice store in mall so I will shop there also. Happy with my purchase.

  • Sephora

My daughter turned me onto sephora. They have brands that I use and love and you get points for shopping. Cosmetics can be expensive but the quality makes a difference. Recommend this site and store.

  • Macy's

11/2/15

Love going to the mall and shopping at the larger stores like Macy's. Especially at holidays or for a special occasion. You can usually find better quality and something you love every time you shop. Prices are usually great with sales on everything.

  • Nordstroom

Love shopping at this store. The quality of items is really great and a large selection of brands. The price on some items are high but I think you get a higher quality item and great customer service.
